Description

Meet Alice Anderson: Mechanic. Trailblazer. Entrepreneur. Founder of Australia's first all-girl garage!

It's 1920s Melbourne—society reels from the aftermath of World War I, women's fashion sets startling trends and the city hums with the music of the motorcar. Meanwhile, one small woman defies convention and makes her mark …

Sparked by historical events, Garage Girls shines a light on Alice Anderson's short but eventful life, in a world on the precipice of change.
